Liberatore punched out four opposing hitters in the ballgame and didn’t allow a base on balls. The Brewers got to him for a run in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI single by Christian Yelich, then they scratched out an unearned run while chasing him in the seventh. The 25-year-old hurler got 10 whiffs on 89 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll see if he can keep the good times rolling as he carries a stellar 3.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 28/2 K/BB ratio (31 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Ballesteros joins the Cubs for Tuesday’s game against the Marlins after recording a sublime 368/.420/.522 triple-slash line with four homers and three steals over 34 games this season for Triple-A Iowa. The 21-year-old catcher still has some long-term defensive question marks left to answer, but his strong bat-to-ball skills enable him to avoid strikeouts, and he figures to offer enough power upside to make an impact for fantasy purposes. There may be some initial struggles as Ballesteros adjusts to life in the majors, but he’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Happ heads to the injured list for some extra time off to rest and recover after missing three straight games with a lingering ailment. It doesn’t sound like the 30-year-old corner outfielder is facing a lengthy absence, but oblique issues can be tricky. The fantasy fallout is rather straightforward as Happ’s absence opens the door for burgeoning star Pete Crow-Armstrong to continue leading off for Chicago.

The procedural move frees up a spot on Chicago’s 40-man roster for top prospect Moises Ballesteros ahead of Tuesday’s game in Miami. Miller hit the injured list back in late March with a left hip impingement.

Tatum was injured during the fourth quarter of Monday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks, with his leg giving out as he attempted to corral a loose ball. The Celtics star could not put any weight on his leg while being helped to the locker room, and the worst fears have officially been realized. Not only will Tatum miss the remainder of this playoff series, which Boston trails 3-1, but he’ll likely miss most of the 2025-26 season. One would expect Kristaps Porzingis to return to the starting lineup in the short term, and the Celtics have serious long-term questions to answer following Tatum’s injury.

Díaz was placed on the restricted list ahead of Tuesday’s series opener in Canada after there was a delay in the renewal process for his passport that was not able to be expedited. It’ll be Jonathan Aranda taking over at the cold corner in his absence. The 33-year-old veteran will return for Friday’s contest against the Marlins at loanDepot park.

The Brewers have opted to give Quintana an additional day of rest as he deals with some shoulder soreness. It’ll be Chad Patrick taking the ball for Friday’s series opener. No word yet on how Milwaukee will handle Wednesday’s series finale against the Guardians, but it figures to be pitching prospect Logan Henderson, who struck out nine and allowed one run over six innings during his big-league debut back on April 20. The major surprise would be if the club opts to promote top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski, but that doesn’t appear likely at the moment.
